#freedom is the right for all sentient beings

[chalkcryptid]

So last weekend was the Alton Pride festival and I just had to go even though it started at 11am and I’m usually in bed by then on work days now. It was stupid hot for a day in mid September, but I still needed to draw this. Optimus Pride says “freedom is the right of all sentient beings.”

The little silver thing at the bottom of the full length picture is the window to my car, which I was standing on top of to get a decent shot of the whole thing, which, as you can see from the picture of my face next to his hand, is very large. I’d say he was at least 9 feet tall. I was sweating so much I was dripping and had to go bum napkins and paper towels from some of the vendors. I didn’t blend the colors like I usually do because I was getting so tired, but it turned out great.

I think that if Terminus and Optimus ever met, they would cause each other an aneurysm.

I want them to meet, obviously.

We have been reminded that we needed to change our profile picture for pride month.

If we find any of you being queerphobic, Optimus himself will be taking the account and blocking you.

Idk how I survived through this year

But yeah. I did

Sometimes people call me strong because of it, but I don't really like it when they do, I'm just trying to live my life yk.. It makes me nothing other than traumatized, strong out of the question

Couldn't be more grateful to the girls and boys protecting me right now, they are strong

So, guys. They gave us 3 days, 1 year passed since. We're still standing

And if my faves survived through 4 million years of war, I can too

I reckon I could possess someone. if I tried.

we were never the same.

Hear me out hear me out; xdinary heroes' songs are so transformers coded it's hurts, like 'pluto' reminds me so much of transformers one especially with the lines "don't define me, cause you don't know me", "Beat it, beat the fire, The sun is rising higher, Go back after whispering, they don't see who's on fire" like that's so more than meets eye coded AND it sounds like it could be an ost for it. Just hear me out (by hearing this)

all the pissed off transphobic dudebro idiots angry about nightshade being nonbinary and using they/them pronouns should be shown clockwork orange style the idw comics from 2005 where there's not only gay transformers but also explicit discussion of changing one's pronouns to better fit who they are. they should also see the mpreg

// damn I forgot how fucked over Trypticon is in Fall of Cybertron, and mostly by the Autobots!!! they're siphoning energon from him while he's STILL ALIVE and they also dismembered him??? and then Megatron comes along and goes "you failed me so I'm forcibly reformatting you into a ship for me to use and you'll be stuck in that form forever"

[spotsupstuff]

Would Suns be a decepticon trying to come off as an autobot?

goddammit that actually requires me to think about the ideologies h...

alright fine, so here's an idea: we start off at neutral with everyone. the Children of Eo would go Decepticon at first (with some staying neutral like Gem n Expiation who in turn would force Spore to stay with them) cuz iirc the Cons were the ones who first rose up against the council and for a bit were actually the somewhat good guys. at least usually its thought of like this. Moon's group would either stay neutral or be lookin at the Cons uncertainly cuz the beginning ideas are good but something ain't smelling right. Suns would be staying neutral cuz that is the local popular choice

then the Cons start going bad which would surprise the Eo group n when the Autobots branch off of the Cons, they join Them (with Boreas coming along only cuz he doesn't want to be left behind. would quite like to stay with the Cons actually). this new side becomes more appealing to the neutrals that are kinda on the fance, especially with Optimus n the Matrix as the representative, so Moon's group would join up There. Suns is going along cuz that is, once again, the popular choice

so they'd never be a Con. they kinda remind me of idw Getaway if anything, really

Also on the topic of RiD

I feel like we moved past the fact that the Bee put bombs in the Decepticons head and was actively threatening their lives if they didn’t behave a little too quickly-

I mean 

The good guys folks

Everything I need to know, I learned in kindergarten (the name of every transformer)
